mm/hugetlb: optimize minimum size (min_size) accounting
It was observed that minimum size accounting associated with the hugetlbfs min_size mount option may not perform optimally and as expected. As huge pages/reservations are released from the filesystem and given back to the global pools, they are reserved for subsequent filesystem use as long as the subpool reserved count is less than subpool minimum size. It does not take into account used pages within the filesystem. The filesystem size limits are not exceeded and this is technically not a bug. However, better behavior would be to wait for the number of used pages/reservations associated with the filesystem to drop below the minimum size before taking reservations to satisfy minimum size. An optimization is also made to the hugepage_subpool_get_pages() routine which is called when pages/reservations are allocated. This does not change behavior, but simply avoids the accounting if all reservations have already been taken (subpool reserved count == 0).
